Image creation system

Abstract

An image creation system which creates image data of an image to be displayed by a display section of a programmable display device includes the programmable display device and a personal computer (PC). When a user conducts an operation by use of a mouse etc., an image creation operating section of the PC creates operation data indicative of content of the operation. A data transmission and reception section of the PC transmits, to the programmable display device, the operation data whose data format is compatible with the programmable display device. A control section of the programmable display device causes the programmable display device to draw the image in accordance with the operation data received by the programmable display device.

1 . An image creation system, comprising an operating device and an operating and display device, and being configured to create image data of an image to be displayed by the operating and display device,
 the operating device including:
 an operation data creating section which, when an operation is conducted, creates operation data indicative of content of the operation; and 
 a data transmission section which transmits, to the operating and display device, the operation data whose data format is compatible with the operating and display device, and 
   the operating and display device including a control section which causes the operating and display device to draw the image in accordance with the operation data received by the operating and display device.   
     
     
         2 . The image creation system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the operation is an operation for creating the image data, and
 the operating device creates, as the operation data, (i) operation data for the image which operation data is created as the image data by the operation, and (ii) operation data for a command which is related to an operation of the operating and display device, the operation data being given to the operating and display device.   
     
     
         3 . The image creation system as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the data transmission section intermittently transmits the operation data for the command. 
     
     
         4 . The image creation system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the operating device creates, as the operation data, (i) operation data for drawing in accordance with which operation data the operating and display device draws the image, and (ii) operation data for a command which is related to an operation of the operating and display device, the operation data being given to the operating and display device. 
     
     
         5 . The image creation system as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the data transmission section intermittently transmits the operation data for the command.
